It SEEMS self explanatory that the user requested to be voluntarily banned, but why? I've noticed that SOME of the ones who have "User requested ban" on their siggy have like 1,000+ posts or tens and tens of feedback so I was wondering WHY would they chose to be voluntarily banned?

I guess because I'm getting to know the community and would HATE to start over that I just don't get it.

Because they feel like they've been on here too much and their family life is suffering.

**I do know how to spell...my iPod on the other hand does not**

Yup, that.
I've seen a bunch of posts where current mamas are kind of assuming that mamas with URBs are trying to throw a public fit. I'm sure that sometimes that is the case, but I think it is probably more likely that many of them are just trying to cut back on internet time.
Like asking DH to hide the chocolate, you know?

Resting on God's promises and listening for the "sunergei" of God's perfect symphony. Prayers greatly appreciated!

I'm pretty sure you have to go through Juan to get a URB so I doubt it's a statement of any kind...it's not like you can just ban and unban yourself willy nilly. I doubt he'd be letting folks use it as a way of throwing a fit.

And I agree it's used whe. Pople need a little help in the self control of limiting their Internet/forum time.
